Good morning!! I hope your weekend is turning out wonderful!!! 

I am popping in with some TAWS fun today!!

We've got this great children's book called "This Way Ruby!!" And because I have a daughter named Ruby, you can imagine that we love that book! As soon as I saw these sweet ducks, from the Just Ducky set, I knew I had to make a "Ruby" card!! The sentiment is from the From Us set...which I can't get enough of right now!!  

 

Take care and see you soon!! 

Can't thank you enough...

Hello!! I hope you are doing well! Mid November already...can you stand it!??

I am popping in with a quick and simple card today. You know, the past several months, moving from Seattle to Portland, there have been SO many people that I just can't tell how much I appreciate what has been done for me and my family!!! I tell you friends, little things DO matter!! As I have been the recipient of such love and service...I am SO thankful for dear friends!

I used the flower from the Wispy Wishes set--that was a bit "rock 'n rolled" in a few different green inks and my sentiment is from the From Us set!

We love you lots

Good morning!!

My son used to collect little yellow ducks--we found them in so many different places!!! But, some of those little "yellow" ducks, turned into all sorts of different types of ducks!!! I loved a little pink one that we picked up somewhere fun--a game store I think. The little pink duck is long gone...but when I saw this stamp, I  knew it needed to be a little pink duck!!!

My cute little ducks are from the Just Ducky set and the sentiment is from the From Us set!!

So Happy For You!

Hello dear ones!! I hope you are doing well!!

I am just sharing a quick little card today...I paper pieced!! It's been quite a while since I have fussy cut!! I love this umbrella and paired with this yummy paper...I wish I had one!! The umbrella is from the Rain or Shine set!! And the sentiment, From Us!

 

 Take care and I hope you have a fantastic day!!! 

You Brighten Our World!!

Good morning and happy weekend!! Can you believe we are into November now...wow. The days are sure flying by at our house!! We are feeling more and more settled...and I am so thankful for that!! We've got some people that have really helped so much--and in a way I can call that "brightening our world!!" 

I love these birds, can't get enough of them!! They are from the Flap Happy set. The sentiment, I am telling you--do you have this set yet!!?--from the From Us set. I love that these sentiments send love from my family...not just me and I LOVE that!!

I hope you have a great weekend!!! See you soon!!

Thankful for you!

Hey there!!! Happy Thursday morning!!! How are you doing!!? 

I know I keep saying that I am thankful for people right now...but I'm not done sending my gratitude love notes yet!!!;)

These pretty flowers from the Wispy Wishes set make my heart so happy!! I used the paper for the inspiration as to the colors I would use! The sentiment is from the From Us set.

Take care dear ones...see you soon!!

Good morning!! The weekend is upon us, and it's almost the end of the month of October!!? Wow. We are getting ready to move into our new home...we are SO excited!!! The wait has been long and we are super excited to have a permanent address!!!

I've doubled the post for today, adding the new Retro Sketch for you along with some TAWS fun!! So, here is the new sketch for the week. Now, isn't that little ghost the cutest thing you've seen yet today!? I love the drawing!! :)

And here is my card!! I needed a perfect birthday card...so this little cute was created!! I pulled out the Waddle Pals set...can you imagine it!? I also pulled out the It's My Party, this sentiment is 100% something I say, so it was perfect!!!

I hope your weekend is awesome and that you have a great one!!

Seasons Greetings

Good morning!! Seasons Greetings!? What in the world. My mind can't quite wrap around that one!!! But, I guess being the end of October, it's time to break out the Christmas tunes, right!?

Today I've got my favorite image from the Mistltoe Kisses set. Isn't he just too cute!?

I kept him super simple and just wanted to add a few little "snow flakes" in the way of clear sequins. This card is one of those that could easily be a mass produced holiday card!!! 

Take care and see you soon!

For You

Good morning!! I'm excited to be stopping in today...I have another double duty post today!! I have the new Retro Sketch to share with you today! And,some delicious TAWS love!!

So, here is the new sketch!! Isn't it a good one!?

And her is my card!!! I pulled out my bag of Maggie Holmes flowers...seriously, can't get enough!! And while it is mid October, my heart is still stuck in florals!! I used some Maggie Holmes and PTI patterned papers, for the die cutting. Then I went added the beautiful sentiment from the Sweet Thing set from TAWS. Really, I can't ever get tired of using them!!!

I finished off with clear sequins, because really, they are the perfect fit for any card!!!

Thanks for stopping by!! Can't wait to see your take on the new Retro Sketch!!

Hello Sweet Friend!

 Hey there and good morning!!

 I pulled these sweet little pine trees from the Mistletoe Kisses set. I fussy cut...it's been a while, but oh how it makes my heart swell with these trees!! 

I also pulled this sentiment, which I happen to LOVE, from the Yappy set. 

 My paper is from Avery Elle...don't you wish all green hills looked like that!? Well, maybe it looks life a freshly mowed lawn!? The frame die is from PTI

Hello!

Good morning!!  I've combined my usual two Saturday posts..So, I've got some TAWS fun and the new Retro Sketch for the week!

More penguin love...I'm telling you...love!! I love this little one from Waddle Pals!! 

Isn't she cute!? I am sure the doily and pink polka dots ensure she is a girl!!:) And this sentiment from Sweet Thing!? 100% love.

I found a pad of the We R Memory Keepers acetate...OH, my delicious!!! It is seriously so yummy! I also used a mini Doodle Bug doily. I got a super fun happy mail from the sweetest bloggy buddy, Tawnya! She sent me an awesome collection of colorful doilies...oh my heart!! 

Take care friends!! I can't wait to see what you come up with for the sketch this week!!

Have an ice day!

Good morning friends! Hope you are doing well!!

I've got a quick little number to share today!! As you may recall, we've been on a bit of a penguin kick in my house!!! This month's release is keeping that alive!! The Waddle Pals set is SO cute...and with all the different penguins..there is just a load of fun to be found!!

 

I pulled out a Heidi Swapp stencil for the "icy" background and some blue distress inks. The little ice berg is from the Chilly mini set, which happens to be free this month with orders $40 or more!! 

I hope you are doing well and not too chilly!! We've been enjoying the most glorious weather!!! We are getting a little rain today, but that is to be expected in our neck of the woods!!!

Take care and see you soon!!!

Hello!

Good morning and happy day!! We have been having THE most beautiful weather ever!! October 1st my kids were playing outside at the splash pad!! Who would have thought!? Not a cloud in the sky, 78 degrees and just pure beautiful weather!! In October!? Well, we'll keep it!! I think the best part is that we are getting a little chilly in the mornings as the kids leave for school...so Fall has arrived, but it is just bringing sunshine and blue skies!! 

I have a fun little penguin love today! I used the cute little guys from the Waddle Pals set. Oh, I think they are super cute! I colored them with some copics and easy peasy was done!!

I used some circle dies to make the windows for each of the penguins--I did put acetate and foam behind the front panel too, so there is some fun dimension! I love this hello sentiment too!!! It's from the Lite Brite set, oh, you know I love that one!!

Hope you have a great one friends!!! Take care and see you soon!!
